I am reading a book by an investigative journalist. Someone who became obsessed with digging up the truth on a matter. They lost a lot along the way. The truth had a price. I guess it always does. The truth is an expensive thing. It’s simple and complex. It’s bitter and sweet.
It demands courage.
That’s the thing about truth— it sort of demands you put it all out on the line. It really does. It goes and strips you and leaves reality and you naked. The truth carries a different level of vulnerability. It can be more painful because, by definition, it is what it is— whether you like it or not.
Is it worth it? I would say it is. It’s unbelievably hard, but it sets you free.
